I was also named after an uncle, my mam's elder brother. Serving in the Sherwood Foresters he was sent to the far East, taken prisoner, survived the Burma railway only to die when torpedoed by an America Submarine, USS Sealion. He was on the Rakuya Maru, one of the infamous hell ships whilst being transported to Japan.

Off what? You rarely participate so why on earth would you read it? The only reason someone dislikes something they read is when they don't agree with it, if they do they will not object. Perhaps Col's sometimes perceptive and erudite observations are a little too close for comfort to dyed in the wool Tory supporters? Maybe defending one of the most disgraceful parliaments in living memory with not go down well with others. It's been said before that we all have memories but they are finite and once recalled can only become repetitive, and quickly kill this forum

Somewhere up there ^^^ I criticised NCC for making decisions based on very few people's opinions. Today in a debate in the mother of all parliaments discussing topics supposedly of national importance, only 10 Tory and 6 Labour MPs could be arsed to turn up. I'd stop their pay.

And if it's you that's on the menu?

When something doesn't fit Col it means you're using the wrong size hammer

I have my own ideas of events but it's probably libellous to publish without proof. It seems his particular peccadillo led him to a dating site and some 'bad people'. What happened in the flat, what they did and why he was locked in is something to ponder - except I'm really not that interested.

No visit to the Railway Museum PF?

. From Nottinghtransport,com: "It’s great to see such positive feedback from the community! The bridge is part of the Transforming Cities initiative and aims to enhance pedestrian and cyclist connectivity across the River Trent". They pat themselves on the back and boast 83% approved the idea. But... There were 1198 responses. 83% of that is only 991, this means they based their decision on the opinion of less than 0.3% of Nottingham's residents. More than 400, almost half of those that approved the idea, thought the location was in the wrong place. Look

That's my point Col. Someone has been digging in the mire, politics and politicians are getting desperate, nasty and personal. The Tories can't convince us their policies are working, thus we have the attack on Rayner in the hope it damages Labour by association. Despite the weasel words Labour really have not presented a single itemised or realistic costed argument. I've said it so any times, they are totally bereft of any clear and communicable ideas. Now Menzies has given them a bone to chew. And so both parties are now resorting to scrabbling in the dirt of th

So now it's Starmers turn to demand a police investigation - tit for tat anyone? I've no idea what Menzies has been up to, but although it all seems rather unsavoury, was it criminal?

I always thought it looked a bit Heath Robinson and somewhat flaky in its construction so well done for keeping it going.

Yeah yeah... you make it sound so simple but we both know it can be quite strenuous bending, lifting etc. There comes a time...

Err hello??... do be careful Col

You've missed the big picture. With Trump as president and Farage as PM... what could possibly go wrong...

So you should be Ben. Limond was top drawer and fought some real champions, 42wind from 48 fights. He was the first to trouble Khan. Anyone who went the distance with must have been good...

I was using language anyone (Raynor), who calls people 'homophobic, racist, misogynistic scum'. would understand. There's more but too rude for this forum. I don't know any more details than you and I'm sure you noted I did not accuse her of any wrongdoing. I simply replied to your post that new evidence and a new complaint based on it had been made. I will accuse her of hypocrisy. I also said politicians are using the police as agents to attack each other. The investigation as I understand it regards her statement in 2015 about her main residence, and is th

Apparently not, I thought jokes were meant to be funny

That's not nice... quite unkind in fact...

Having scrolled back through the political and other threads to find anything offensive, and failed, I'm confused that someone who considers a day to be wasted unless he upsets someone has found something to complain about. Reading the thread is not mandatory

Being picky is that the right green or is it the picture, it looks a little pale on my screen and comparing it with the NCT website.

Some think it's political and a rise of the hard right, yet there is no firm evidence to support it. Those on the left can male an equal claim that the far left is responsible, again with no overwhelming evidence to substantiate it. Edit this was turning into a long discourse, a dissertation if you like on the ills and evils in society so most is deleted...... Arthur C Clake was right, H G Wells was right...I just hope Neville Shute was wrong...

Apparently witnesses have come forward to offer fresh evidence, and there is a new complaint from a different quarter. Whilst I would like to see her slapped down, I think it's a sad comment on the state of the political scene today that they are using the police as agents to attack teach other. Starmer of course is back on the fence of plausible deniability. "I've not seen the legal advice letter, but my team has". Yeah right...

It was at the top end of Maid Marion Way, long gone now...

John Laurence Pearson used his middle name and everyone called him Loll. OOps... confusing JL Pearson with Laurie... soz...

That's one view PP and may prove to be right. but it can also be said it's very expensive facility for very few people considering there are two pedestrian/cycling only bridges already existing.
